Television broadcasting rights are granted primarily to TV stations and other broadcasting institutions. These rights are granted to broadcast the television signal for a defined period in a particular territory. Revenue from television broadcasting rights by region is recognised when the actual broadcasting of the event in question takes place and is contingent on the number of broadcasting hours. As a consequence, a comparison against previous years is not meaningful. Revenue should be analysed considering the full four-year cycle of FIFA.
Other broadcasting revenue reflects additional revenue for services during the events in order to fulfil FIFA’s broadcasting obligations.
Revenue from broadcasting rights contracts, which include the right to broadcast other FIFA events, but excluding the FIFA World Cup™, is presented as Other FIFA event revenue. Such other FIFA events staged in 2022 were the FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2021™, The Best FIFA Football Awards™ 2021, both of which were postponed from 2021 to 2022 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2022™, the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Costa Rica 2022™, the Blue Stars/FIFA Youth Cup 2022™, the FIFA World Cup 2022™ intercontinental play-off matches and FIFAe tournaments.
In 2022, the value of services or goods received for television broadcasting rights (i.e. value-in-kind revenue) amounted to USD 3 million (2021: USD 0.2 million).
